Effect
As a Bonus Action, you heighten your awareness through the Force. Until the end of your next turn, you automatically sense the presence and general location of creatures within 30 ft, even if they are behind cover, hidden, or invisible. This does not allow you to see through objects, remove cover bonuses, or target creatures you cannot physically draw a line of effect to. You simply know where they are within a few feet of accuracy.
At the Table
A scout creeps through a fog-choked Dathomir clearing, certain something is stalking her. She burns 1 FP as a Bonus Action and reaches out with Feel the Force, and suddenly she knows: two presences crouched behind the boulder to her left, one more clinging to the canopy directly overhead, all within 30 ft. She still can't see them or strip away their cover, but until the end of her next turn she knows exactly where to point the squad, and the ambush becomes a counter-ambush.
In the Lore
"Feel the Force" captures the most fundamental Jedi teaching of the Sense discipline: stretching out with one's feelings to perceive life and intention beyond the reach of ordinary sight. In A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi has Luke lower his helmet's blast shield and trust this exact instinct against the training remote, telling him to "let go" and feel rather than look. Across the films and shows, Jedi and Sith alike rely on this heightened battlefield awareness to track foes through darkness, smoke, or stealth, and a Force-user's sudden warning of a hidden enemy is one of the tradition's oldest hallmarks. As a Universal power, it belongs to no single side, reflecting how the living Force speaks to anyone attuned enough to listen.
